Dave Rubin hosts an impromptu live stream discussing a viral confrontation between Joe Biden and Jerry Wayne, a Detroit union worker. During a meeting, Biden allegedly told Wayne, "You're full of shit," after Wayne questioned employment plans under Trump and raised concerns about gun rights. Wayne, a millwright and Jordan Peterson fan, asserts Biden claimed he would confiscate guns, though Biden denied this. Despite social media hate, Wayne remains committed to individual decision-making and societal solutions rather than confiscation. Rubin offers Wayne VIP tickets to a Detroit tour stop, highlighting the worker's growing media attention and his push for middle-ground politics. Ultimately, the exchange underscores deepening cultural divides over free speech and gun control while showcasing the power of direct worker-politician dialogue. [Automatically generated summary]
And the reason we're doing that is yesterday, something pretty bizarre, I guess, if these were normal political times happened, but sorta, kinda obvious in these wacky times we're in.
And also kind of inspiring, actually, happened yesterday.
So before I introduce my guest, I wanna play, it's about a two and a half minute clip, Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, he was at the Fiat Chrysler plant in Detroit yesterday meeting with union workers and guys that work over at the factory over there.
I wasn't at all, but I do do construction, and so I hear that all the time, so I can't say it was like a complete and utter shock, because to be honest with you, I'm an American citizen, and I don't see politicians as if they're above me.
I don't think a lot of people see it that way, but I'm not one of them.
They work for us, and I think a lot of people need to realize that.
Did you happen to notice, this is a little technical, but, you know, the fire in a crowded theater line that he said, it's actually technically not true.
I kind of sense from the few minutes that we spoke earlier this morning, when I had to verify it was you after you emailed me and I was like, all right, well, you know, I can't just put this guy on.
I got to make sure it's the same guy.
I sense you've kind of been ready to get your voice out there.
So, after the whole thing goes down, you guys have your little brouhaha, did you immediately go, oh shit, this thing's gonna go viral, or you must have seen all the cameras there and the rest of it?
Well, I mean, like, I kind of had a hunch that something would happen, you know, like, because, like, it's media and things are, you know, blown up, but then, as well, I thought, like, it was just a confrontation.
I'm just a, I'm just a guy.
I didn't think that this would be blown into such big proportion.
I mean, there's, it's on the cover pages everywhere and stuff, and I had no idea this was transpiring while I was going through work.
I had some inklings of things, like, hey, man, like, something's going big, but I don't have a service at work or anything like that, and when I get out of work, by God, it, It definitely went to the ceiling, for sure.
I don't think everybody... Some people knew I was going to try to ask a question, and they tried talking me out of it.
But I'm an individual.
I'm an individual thinker.
I'm an individual mind.
I'm going to do what I think is right.
And I wanted to He came there because he's a Democrat, and there's a lot of unions there.
And usually the union goes Democratic.
And by the way, in no way, shape, or form am I a representative for any union whatsoever.
I'm an individual thinker.
And I think that he wanted to show there on election day, and he wanted to wave to everybody, show, hey, look, I showed face, go vote for me and get out of there.
But I don't think he was ready for an intellectual question.
But I'm curious because if you look at the way this is tracking on Twitter, it seemed like it was all sort of conservatives or people on the right that were making a big deal about this.
And I saw basically some people on the left and mainstream people kind of defending Biden as if you were, you know, being rude or something like that.
But I'm wondering, in terms of the media that's reaching out to you, because this obviously broke through to the mainstream, is it only Fox and me?
Yeah, I have had some people reach out to me, but I tell you what, I've had so many inquiries, it's very hard to keep up with everything.
And hopefully I can use your platform to say this.
Some people I just, I tried to get back and it just, There's a lot going on right now.
I'm not used to this, this limelight.
And I'm just, I'm trying to do whatever I can to, uh, move the country forward.
Um, I, that's not my responsibility from what I see, but it seems that a lot of people are wanting me to be a voice and I want to be a voice for the American people if they want me to do it.
And I know you told me before that you watch the show and it's like, I've sat across from a lot of people who didn't necessarily want to get into the fight, but suddenly the fight kind of came to them from James Damore and Brett Weinstein and Lindsey Shepard and a whole slew of people.
And I just get the vibe from you like you're ready to get in.
Um, I, I'm ready to do What the American people want.
I'm just here to say what the American people want to say.
And I think that on, I don't speak for either side, but I do believe that both sides want a middle ground.
I believe that that's what the American needs more than anything.
And, uh, yeah, I, I, I'm a gun guy.
I am.
And I think that, uh, I think that gun safety starts at home and I think that we shouldn't be looking away from this and trying to take, let me give an example.
I train dogs on the side.
Okay?
I'm not trying to compare dogs to humans in any sense, but if a dog chews things, and you come home, and you just cage that dog so it doesn't chew things, that dog still wants to chew things.
You didn't fix that dog's issue.
You just put a band-aid on it.
And by going with humans, if you end up taking the guns, you didn't fix the issue, the underlying problem of committing murder.
You just took away an object.
That's all you did.
So let's get to the underlying issue here and let's fix what's actually broken.
And that is the way people are brought up and the way people are treating each other.
Here, I'll bring you back around using a segue here.
Watch, this is a professional segue.
You know, there's a lot of talk right now about Biden's cognitive stuff and that he's bumbling and fumbling and forgetting what he's saying and the rest of it.
As someone that stood, you know, six inches away with his finger right in your face, you know, guy wants to be the most powerful man in the world.
And listen, any of your guys that were there yesterday or any of your buddies that want to come, if they just get a regular ticket, we'll upgrade everybody for VIP.
I'd love to just shake all their hands.
And maybe I can come to my factory and see what's going on.
Yeah, I'm getting some hate on social media for sure, but I think that whenever you're in the limelight, you can't make everybody happy.
But what you can do is you can follow your soul, you can follow your intuition, and if you're leading that right, You're going to go down the right path.
And, uh, I can't make everybody happy.
I can't.
And that's not, nor is that my job.
I feel as if it's my purpose to, uh, to share my perspective on things.
Um, I'm not the brightest guy.
I'm not, like, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but, uh, I try and I care about this country very much.
And I want to bring this country together.
And if I'm the first drop of glue that has to let that happen, I'll be that drop.
